Honestly, hoping and praying that peace prevails. It is a sad state of affairs.
I wish that rest of the world understands that war should be the last resort, every incident should be duly investigated, solved via diplomatic channels and if still nothing happens only then should countries go to war. We have seen time and time again that emotions cloud judghment of people and media fuels mass hysteria, ending up civilian casualties.
Rest of the world should catch up and start to give a you know what that India will no longer tolerate cross border terrorism, that the rest of the world has been funding for a long time.
Pakistan is a failed state, and its about time rest of the world did something about it.
The history between the two nations. They continuously sponsored terrorism and attacks killing innocent Indian civilians. Killing civilians just because they are Hindu.
There is a certain extent to which terror is tolerated. People in the west have one terrorist attack, they lose their shit and get immediate retaliation. India has been suffering for decades.
Some Pakistanis will come and say Pakistan is affected by terrorism more, then why does your government keep sheltering them in Lavish houses? Why are they not handing over terrorists responsible for major attacks on Indian soil.
Of course everyone wants peace, but peace cannot be just willed into existence by one side.
Pakistan is a breeding ground for Islamic terrorism. That’s what madrasa’s are used for which are sponsored by funds coming from abroad.
The UK should get off their bums and go moderate a peace initiative since they were the ones that phucked it up, anyway.
Rest of the world should understand not to fall for propagandists. Repeating a lie hundreds of times doesn’t make it the truth.
If you oppress a region like kashmir militants will rise. Don’t play the victim card and start bombing your neighbor accusing them of your own security failure when said militants attack.
What saddens me is that both sides are blatantly arguing and accusing each other . Like bro, braking each others heads ain’t the solution.
I wish they would talk it through like adults but idk, I doubt they would
I hope this fight ends immediately. The world could support both nations in investigating the Pahalgam incident which was the source of escalation to this fighting. India refused Pakistani offer to have diplomatic, neutral and independent investigations.
Instead of attacking a nuclear power Pakistan, India should have resolved the matter by diplomacy, neutral and independent investigations. India carelessly brought the world to ww3.
Wish the world saw us not just as a conflict, but as neighbors with shared history, pain, and hope for peace.
Personally: My anxiety level is at an all time high and I really don’t feel well and it’s like my body’s preparing myself to die any day… Every time I eat food I feel this may be the last meal of my life, or I go to the bathroom I feel something may happen or outside my house I feel I won’t return alive, If there’s heavy work going on in my area, I feel there are sirens, I can’t imagine getting detached from my family..I will never have the chance to see my loved ones again( who live in a different state) .. It’s terrible, it feels like COVID has returned but in a monstrous form.
The regions that are worse affected I can’t imagine their pain, only today I saw that a woman crying on TV that her husband build the house with so much care and hardwork, blood and soil, but now it’s destroyed and they have nowhere to go.
And I wish everyone understood, human lives are precious, humanity is precious, just fighting for any reason will only increase tensions.. rather than going on war, other such strong systems should be brought into use to prevent terrorism etc.
Let peace prevail 🕊
It’s heartbreaking, but I do believe India has the right to protect its people, no country should have to tolerate constant threats or cross-border attacks.
I wish the Pakistani administration understands that India has no tolerance at all for their state sponsored terrorism. As long as they don’t antagonize us, we couldn’t care less about them. To the Pakistani common people we have no beef with you. I’m sure you know what your army & administration is up to. We hope you can influence your administration in the right direction. Let’s all live in peace!
The sheer amount of misinformation both sides are spewing at each other to justify their own atrocities. India attacked the capital of Pakistan in the night, which is a crazy escalation. India said it was retaliation because Pakistan launched missiles at Delhi. No missiles hit Delhi prior to the attack on the capital, and no official sources said it happened, but everyone swears up and down that the attack on Islamabad was a response to the failed attack at Delhi.
Pakistan is also chock full of lies to justify why they’re doing what they’re doing, with the military lying to the people and riling them up. I wish the rest of the world understood that they’re both horrible to each other, both nuclear powered, and both full of vindictive hatred.
Hope civilians on both sides remain safe. The rest of the world, particularly westerners, needs to understand that if this isn’t deescalated and turns into a full blown war, then that immigration they are always complaining about will 10x. So they should probably help calm things down.
Time and time again, we saw proof of Indian involvement in Balochistan and now they blamed us for terror attacks and launched an operation that killed innocents and their media is so crooked they don’t even tell the truth about anything. They are just busy glorifying their own country which the whole world knows how much they love doing.
We have no problem declaring war over India to be honest, we were at constant war from within fighting terrorist orgs, but now if India’s welcoming it, India will get it. We will defend our country no matter what.
The world is sitting on a powder keg, and Pakistan is the fuse. A failed state, teetering on the edge, it not only harbors terrorism but also controls a deadly nuclear arsenal. The time has come for drastic action—Pakistan must be dismantled, its nukes handed over to responsible powers like the US, China, Russia, and India. Only then can true stability and peace be achieved in Central and South Asia. The clock is ticking.
The way that every comment here reads exactly the same and all use the same phrasing and terms makes this feel like a turfed thread…
I just wish that our hotheaded governments would stop being hotheaded and started some peace talks and negotiations. Or somebody steps in to make them see sense and calm them down. If the war turns nuclear it isn’t going affect the two countries only. Enough innocent people have been killed on both sides. Plus the terrorists who did the pahalgam attack (whoever they were) should be arrested and jailed for life. This shit started because of them.
World should know about
Two nation theory
Partition of India
Kashmir
I am from India and am worried about my family and friends who live there. I do not support war as a concept but conflict is inevitable after the recent terror attack on innocents in pahalgam. I stand by my country and the necessary actions we are taking to ensure the safety of our nations and its citizens and in ensuring such a tragedy never happens again. To all my fellow Indians, let’s stay strong together and hope for a future where our nation need not live in fear and despair.
Bharat mata ki jai 🇮🇳
No hate for common pakistani people, but there are terrorist groups in pakistan which have attacked pakistani civilians in the past also. But for some reason the Pakistani military supports them and attend their funeral. And when we lose 26 tourists who have nothing to do with politics, who can barely speak Hindi , tourists with families are getting killed in the name of religion.. then terrorist groups linked with Pakistan publicly claim these attacks , so why shouldn’t india retaliate.
Both sides are fueled by hatred and propaganda. Their governments fund separatist and insurgent regimes across the border and use the others aggression to justify political agendas and military budgets. They fund media to pump hatred and anger against each other. Nowhere else in the world will you see people with so much common DNA and such villa hatred for each other purely on nationalistic and religious beliefs that don’t affect then personally at all.
Hundreds of times more people die in India and Pakistan from crime, violence, and poverty each year than any terrorist/insurgent act could, but their leaders only react to the latter and wage wars. It’s pure idiocy at this point but they’ll respond to this with calling each other terrorist and extremist and how they can’t tolerate it any more when redditors from either country aren’t being personally affected by the war.
